'Rudolph' Crabapple Tree Reviews

With its squash-ball-sized, bright red fruits, it's not difficult to see where 'Rudolph' got its name... This is far from being simply a festive one-trick-pony, however, oh no! Sporting lush foliage and glorious springtime pink blossoms, this impressive, highly-versatile crabapple deserves a starring role in any garden. The tree's serrated foliage emerges in attractive coppery and bronze shades, then turns green in summer, before finally taking on fiery red and orange hues come the autumn months. Single pink blossoms appear in the heart of spring, and without any shadow of a doubt, this crabapple is among the most impressive flowering displays of any crabapple. Following the flowers, vivid red crabapples steal the show, persisting on the tree well into winter. Like all crabapples, 'Rudolph' has the Royal Horticultural Society's Plants for Pollinators status, showing its benefits to pollinating insects like bees and butterflies.
